I went to school today. This evening Uncle "Tom's Cabin" troup paraded the streets, as they passed the schoolhouse the teacher let us all go to the windows and see them. The play is to be tonight, of course I couldent [[couldn't]] go. There was not many at school today, I wish it was that way all the time. Emma and Elmira quit school when the boys got sick, Elmira has started again but Emma is not going any more this term. This evening I had a nice time looking at the rainbow, made by Emma's prism. Emma went to see "Uncle Tom". Today is Calvins [[Calvin's]] birthday. He got a bible and two oranges. He is ten years old.
